Objectives To explore the ethnic differences in patients undergoing aortic valve (AV) intervention for severe aortic stenosis (AS) in Leicestershire, UK. Based on the 2011 Census data for those with a Leicestershire postcode, crude cumulative rate of SAVR (n=489) was 0.64 were in ethnic minority patients, respectively.

Procedure trends certainly suggest that we’ve entered the TAVR era, but a pair of new studies show that surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a far better option for many younger and healthier patients who are increasingly seen as TAVR candidates. Much of these SAVR declines occurred in patients with tricuspid aortic valves (from 84.5%

In light of the growing number of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), there is an increasing demand for data regarding the management of failed TAVR procedures, including the possibility of a repeat TAVR intervention. No significant disparities were found in the rates of death at 30 days (4.7%
